Well, on my droid for gps I have the sendero look around, my favorite especially for checking street crossings and walky talky written as one word I think and the google navigation which works well is accessible and lets you choose walking, car and biking I think and I have several poi apps where, around me. and places they all work pretty well around me gives me a hard time lately so have to argue with it, but usualy get what I want although I think sometimes my phone likes to be weird, I've not heard of others having trouble with that app. The apps for pois all seem to give you differing pois some of the time so to me having more than one is ok and they don't take a lot of space.
Original message:
I have Navigon, and my wife has Tom Tom, and I have read and heard accounts of others. They are pretty similar, as far as accessibility and features are concerned. None of them will automatically speak upcoming intersections, which is the feature that makes the blind oriented solutions stand out.

The features on all of them are similar, not a whole lot of difference. On Jun 12, 2011, at 10:33 AM, Aaron Linson wrote:

Navigon, TomTom, motion GPS, magellan road mate, and map quest.Actually, the interface on map quest is not fully accessible, so it may not be worth getting, but the others work very nicely.On Jun 11, 2011, at 9:00 PM, Aaron Linson wrote:
Which ones are those Mike?? Thanks, Aaron L

Most of them would work, the only one I would not use here is thegarmin street pilot app, it's very accessible, but does not provide voice guidance in walk mode which makes it pretty much useless for blind users. The other ones would work fine.On Jun 11, 2011, at 5:53 PM, Aaron Linson wrote:
Mike which app do you recommend for a walker and a bus rider? Thanks, Aaron

It has a walking mode, don't know if there is any advantage toit, but it's nice that we have another option. I have several on my iphone, let's see, navigon, tomtom, motionx gps, mapquest, garmin street pilot, and now the magellan road mate app, and of course sendero look around.On Jun 11, 2011, at 3:33 PM, Mary Otten wrote:
So if you have Navigon, is there something to recommend thisnewly accessible app, such as a more user friendly interface? Does it have pedestrian mode? I know better than to even ask if it announces upcoming intersections.
